If I Had My Druthers Lyrics > Li'l Abner

If I had my druthers,
I'd druther have my druthers
Than anything else I know
While you'd druther hustle
accumulatin' muscle
I'd druther watch daisies grow.

While they're growin' slowin'
'n the summer breeze is blowin'
My heart is overflowin' 'n so;
If I had my druthers
I'd druther have my druthers
than anything else I know.

If I had my druthers,
I'd druther have my druthers
Than work do any work at all.
It ain't that I hates it,
I often contemplates it
while watchin' the rain drops fall

I sits there for hours,
developin' my powers
a figurin' how flowers gets tall
If I had my druthers
I'd druther have my druthers
than anything else at all.

Dogpatch Guy 1 (spoken): Say, Abner if you could be anyone else in the whole world, who'd you druther be?
Abner: (spoken) Me.
Guy1: (spoken) Jus' you?
Abner: (spoken) Jus' me.
Dogpatch Guy2: (spoken) What's so special 'bout being you?
Abner: (spoken) Ain't nuthin' special about it, it's just so handy, that' all.

If I had my druthers
To choose from all the others,
I'd druther be like I am.
This thing called employment
Detracts from my enjoyment,
And tightens my diaphragm.
While I'm doing nary
A thing that's necessary
I'm happy as a cherry-stone clam.

If I had my druthers
To choose from all the others,
I'd druther be like I am
Yes ma'am
I'd druther be like I am.
